The Recreation and Athletic Center is one of the newest facilities in the Great Lakes Valley Conference open-ing in 2008. It is also the newest athletic facility in the city of Springfield and considered one of the crown jewels in NCAA Division II.

The first event in TRAC was Sept. 28, 2008 when the volleyball defeated Stephens College 3-0. The Prairie Star women’s basketball team has a career 13-29 record in TRAC.

TRAC is a 74,000 square foot building with three collegiate-length basketball and volleyball courts. It also has a full service fitness center that fea-tures a three-lane elevated running track, two racquetball courts that can also con-vert to squash courts.

The recreation and athletic department offices are also housed in the TRAC, along with a state of the art athletic training of-fices. The training room offers four tables for student-athletes and a whirlpool.

Along with hosting intercollegiate athlet-ics and intramurals for UIS, TRAC has also hosted two sell outs for Illinois Boys 2A Super Sectionals. The girls 2A super
